Fourth Lisbon mini-school on Particle and Astroparticle Physics

The Lisbon mini-school on Particle and Astroparticle Physics provides under-graduated students with a comprehensive introduction to the field, covering both theoretical and experimental aspects.

This school will give insigth to recent discoveries and to open challenges and will stress the research opportunities in the field in Portugal.

The school is mainly aimed to third year under-graduated students who have completed the course in Quantum Mechanics I.

Em Portugal, o Observatório Astronómico de Lisboa entregou em agosto do ano passado ao Governo português um estudo que conclui que Portugal não deve pôr fim à mudança da hora. 

A iniciativa visou uma abordagem interdisciplinar da temática. O debate incluiu a participação de cientistas das seguintes áreas: Geofísica, Astronomia, Medicina do Sono, Economia e Ciências Sociais.

Já conhece o Cernorium?

Cernorium é o canal YouTube de Ricardo Honório, aluno do mestrado integrado em Engenharia Física de Ciências ULisboa. O projeto tem já disponível o primeiro episódio e é a “concretização de uma ideia antiga que procura aliar a paixão pela Física com algum humor.

Introduction to Wall-Crossing formulae and Riemann-Hilbert problems from Bridgeland stability conditions

Por Anna Barbieri (University of Sheffield).

Abstract: I will give a brief and gentle introduction through examples from quivers to Bridgeland stability conditions and wall-crossing formulae for invariants counting semistable objects. Such stability conditions are encoded in the formal notions of BPS structures or Kontsevich-Soibelman stability data. I will show how Riemann-Hilbert problems naturally appears in this context.

Optical simulation of the human eye for laser dazzle events

Por João Coelho (LOLS, IBEB).

Abstract: The development of optical models of the human eye and their implementation in optical design software creates effective ways to simulate the eye’s behavior under different conditions and to introduce and analyze the effect of other optical elements. This potentially helps us to develop new optical techniques for studying the eye as well as to simulate more complex situations such as laser dazzle.

A next generation wide field of view detector to study very high-energy gamma rays in the Southern hemisphere

Por Ruben Conceição (LIP).

Abstract: The simultaneous detection of a gravitational wave and gamma-rays and the observation of a high-energy neutrino connected with the emission of photons from a gamma-ray flaring blazar officially inaugurates the Multi-Messenger (MM) Era. These are exciting times as the study of these transient events will help to improve significantly our understanding about astrophysical sources and, with it, test the fundamental properties of our Universe.
